icons \ objects
Deb Covell [UK], Don Voisine [US], Tiberiy Szilvashi [UA], Kazimir Malevich [UA]*.
'icons \ objects' is the first exhibition of
KNO.lab project series, which took place in the
Mikhail Bulgakov museum in Kyiv. The project will be realize in 2018 as the
series of experimental exhibitions, which will feature works of
Ukrainian and International artists.
The concept for the series of
experimental exhibitions is a work with "forces" which form a visual
space, with "elements" of the space, and studying of their boundary
situations. Visual production takes place on the territory where
"symbolic" meets with pre-language; aesthetic with social; "visible"
meets with a viewer. What the conditions needed for the appearance of
artwork? Where the boundaries of real and imaginary? Between emptiness
and Object? Between an imprint and Image? Can the image exist in the
works of non-objective art, if in such works the image can only appear
in its pre-linguistic form? Non-objective art with its centennial
history and its contemporary forms such as "reductive art" and
"post-formalism" have become a visual language with a wide range of
artistic forms, in which the image as a notion and its function is under
the question, as and all other categories of visuality. KNO.lab program
is a continuation of work that have begun five years ago by the
artistic group Alliance 22.
